- Parliamentary Committee inspects government road projects, visits Kasoa-Winneba and Adentan-Dodowa sites
- Ministry re-evaluates compensation for residents affected by Kasoa-Winneba road dualization
- Committee Chairman urges prompt payment to avoid legal issues
The Parliamentary Committee on Roads and Transport has embarked on a fact-finding mission to inspect government road projects, visiting the Kasoa-Winneba and Adentan-Dodowa stretches.
During the site visit, the Ministry of Roads and Highways revealed that it is re-evaluating compensation for residents whose structures were demolished to make way for the dualization of the Kasoa-Winneba section of the Accra-Cape Coast Highway.
According to Dr. Abass Awolu, Chief Director of the Ministry, “Although some individuals in the right of way received compensation in 2006, an ongoing assessment aims to ensure that those who have not received compensation are fairly paid.”
Committee Chairman Kennedy Osei Nyarko urged the government to expedite payment of due compensation to affected residents, warning of potential legal setbacks that could hinder the project’s progress. He also encouraged contractors to work diligently and complete projects on time.
“I am satisfied with the progress of work,” Mr. Osei Nyarko said.
The committee’s inspection aims to ensure that government road projects are executed efficiently and effectively.
